The victim told police that he had been fighting with the other man all day, and that at one point the man pulled a knife and cut the victim's ear. The victim ran away and tried to hide under a stairwell, but the man followed him and stabbed him in the upper thigh, according to a police report.

The victim, who police said was intoxicated, said he knew his attacker, but could not name or describe him. The man with the knife had been smoking crack cocaine all day, according to the report.
